Metabase, the open source business intelligence and analytics platform, preinstalled for AWS with PostgreSQL and nginx. A per-instance administrator and encryption key are generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Metabase by cloudimg
Metabase is the popular open source business intelligence and analytics platform - connect a database, ask questions with a point-and-click query builder or SQL, build dashboards and charts, and share them. This Amazon Machine Image delivers the Metabase Open Source Edition fully installed and configured, so a private BI platform is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Metabase 0.62.
## Application Stack
The Metabase server runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy on the OpenJDK 21 JRE. PostgreSQL is Metabase's application database; the embedded H2 default is not used. The server and database bind to the loopback interface.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service completes the Metabase setup, generates a fresh encryption key unique to that instance, and creates a single administrator account with a per-instance password written to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Bring Your Own Data
The image ships no connected data sources. Sign in as the administrator and connect a database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake, an Amazon RDS instance in the same VPC, and more) to start building dashboards.
## cloudimg Support
cloudimg provides 24/7 technical support for this image, covering deployment, data source configuration, upgrades, TLS termination and database administration.
